The authors describe an emerging paradigm of educational research that pairs theories of embodied learning with a class of immersive technologies referred to as mixed reality (MR). MR environments merge the digital with the physical, where, for example, students can use their bodies to simulate an orbit around a virtual planet. Recent research supports the idea that body activity can be an important catalyst for generating learning, and new technologies are being developed that use natural human physicality and gesture as input. However, existing research on embodied learning technologies has been disparate, driven largely by specific technical innovations and constraints, and often lacking a clear focus on establishing their efficacy in educational contexts. On the basis of the unique characteristics of these technologies and on their own experiences conducting research in this area, the authors put forth six precepts for embodied learning technology researchers that pertain to the rationale, design, and...read more

Adaptation to Remote Teaching during Spring 2020 Amidst COVID-19: Perspectives of Advanced Placement Statistics Teachers
TL;DR: This paper found that teachers from schools that did not provide devices to students (i.e., not one-to-one) tended to report concerns around digital access more frequently (6.87%) and tended to express a more negative sentiment (Sentiment Mean = −.09) than teachers at schools that provided devices (5.69%).

Babyface: Performance and Installation Art Exploring the Feminine Ideal in Gendered Machines
Kate Ladenheim,Amy LaViers +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a machine-augmented, participatory contemporary dance performance called ''Babyface'' is presented, which is a reaction to feminized tropes in popular media and modern technology and establishes a parallel between the ways that women and machines are talked about, treated, and designed to look and behave.
Dissertation
Embodied cognition and executive functioning : the effect of whole body interaction on children's planning and inhibition
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether whole body interaction supported by a gaming floor mat improved children's performance on a set of embodied cognition and executive function (EF) tasks, and found that children were equally competent at each EF task using either device.

Metaphors We Live by
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as discussed by the authors present a very attractive book for linguists to read, which is written in a direct and accessible style; while it introduces and uses a number of new terms, for the most part it is free of jargon.

A Taxonomy of Mixed Reality Visual Displays
Paul Milgram,Fumio Kishino +1 more
TL;DR: Paul Milgram's research interests include display and control issues in telerobotics and virtual environments, stereoscopic video and computer graphics, cognitive engineering, and human factors issues in medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Six views of embodied cognition.
TL;DR: The sixth claim has received the least attention in the literature on embodied cognition, but it may in fact be the best documented and most powerful of the six claims.
Book
How the body shapes the mind
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the origins of the notion of EMBODIMENT and explore the connections between physics, philosophy, and pathology, focusing on pseudoscience.
